Expenses

As mentioned in previous expense articles, we traveled through Europe in the reverse order than what we had anticipated because we decided to fly to South Africa for the winter and make our way back North to Europe for summer. Therefore, some of the anticipated ferries did not occur, for example we went overland to Israel than by boat, so in this case we used the allocated ferry costs for Israel and transferred to this country, Italy. This helped us in being just within budget for the cost of transportation. Maybe all the daily gelatos made us go over budget on the daily costs, but a rare occurrence that we spent fewer days than anticipated in the country made us have a savings of 12% in the overall country budget.
